Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 900 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 900 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

900 km/h → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 900 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 485.96112311096 kt

The final result is:

900 km/h → 485.96112311096 kt

We conclude that 900 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 485.96112311096 knots:

900 kilometers per hour = 485.96112311096 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0020577777777744 × 900 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 900 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020577777777744 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred kilometers per hour is approximately four hundred eighty-five point nine six one knots:

900 km/h ≅ 485.961 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred kilometers per hour.
